Foreword
Design Methodology – Bandlock2 Closure

The Bandlock 2 quick acting closure utilizes pressure loaded components which fall outside the rules provided
for "Standard" components as specified in ASME VIII Div 1.

With reference to ASME VIII Div 1 Appendix 46 (Formerly U-2 (g), calculations have been performed on the
three pressure loaded parts i.e. Neck, Door and Band using stress categorization techniques specified in ASME
VIII Div 2 Part 5 - "Design by Analysis". The allowable material design stress values used in these calculations
have been obtained from ASME VIII Div 1 UG-23. Adoption of these techniques provides solutions as safe as
those provided by Div 1 rules, as required by Appendix 46 (Formerly U-2 (g). The Finite Element method is used
to determine the stresses on the pressure loaded components with subsequent stress categorization as shown
in ASME VIII Div 2 Part 5 (Fig. 5.1).

Closure neck wall thickness and hydrostatic test pressure are calculated using ASME VIII Div 1 UG-27 and
UG-99 (b) respectively.
The closure functional design is fully in accordance with ASME VIII Div 1 UG-35.2

Locking Band

Operational and mechanical strength requirements necessitate the selection of a specific grade of steel for
this component. Duplex steel conforming to ASME II SA479 UNS S31803 (Flat Bar) has proved successful in
meeting the loading and operational requirements of the locking band.
The attachment weld between locking band and operating lug does not constitute a critical loaded weld since
its failure would not in any way affect the safe load carrying capacity of the band.

Minimum Design Metal Temperature

MDMT requirement is -20°C

Impact Test Requirements (UCS-66 M)

Thickness used for Neck is above curve C at -20°C, Therefore Impact Testing is `not mandatory’.
Thickness used for Door (UCS-66(a)(1)(a)(-3)) is above curve D at -20°C, Therefore Impact Testing is ‘not
mandatory’.
Impact testing for Duplex Locking Bands 10mm or thinner & if -29˚C & warmer is exempt as per UHA-
51(d)(3)(a), as the MDMT is -20°C and band thickness is 10mm, impact testing is “not mandatory”.
Pressure Warning Screw (ASME II SA479 316), Impact testing is “not mandatory” as per UHA-51 (d)(1)(a).

Loadings (UG-22)

The loads considered in the design of the closure are as follows.

1. Internal Design pressure & MAWP (as defined in UG-21)
2. Cyclic and dynamic reactions due to pressure variations.
All loads specified in UG-22 other than those specified above are not applicable.

Units used in Calculations

In accordance with ASME VIII Div.1 Appendix 33, any conversions are in accordance with Appendix-GG.

Locking Band MAWP is estimated by FEA and the details can be found in the section 5.11
𝑀𝐴𝑊𝑃𝑙 = 𝟏𝟎. 𝟓 𝑴𝑷𝒂

The MAWP is 10.06 MPa limited by Closure Neck. Therefore, MAWP meets requirements.

3. MODEL DETAILS
3.1. Geometry
Parts were modelled with reference to GD Engineering drawings:
Neck : 6275-0058
Door : 6282-0880
Locking Band : 6297-0682

3.2. Analytical Model

A two-dimensional axisymmetric model was used, composed of 2D 8 node quadrilateral

solid elements. 2D contact elements were placed at the locking Band – neck, locking Band
– door interfaces. All applicable parts are modelled in corroded condition for MAWP

3.3. Boundary Conditions

The neck was constrained at the termination end; it had also been extended so that this
restraint did not impose artificial loading on the model. MAWP load (considering the
worst case compared to design pressure) of 10.06 MPa is applied to the relevant door
and neck surfaces up to the outside face of the seal groove (See Figure 1).

4. VALIDATION

To validate the analysis, the following check was made.

The calculated value of Hoop Stress for MAWP is given by:

𝑀𝐴𝑊𝑃 × 𝐷𝑖 (𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)

σh =
2 × 𝑡 (𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 )

10.06 × 566.4 (𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛)

𝜎ℎ =
2 × (24.6 − 3) (𝐶𝑜𝑟𝑟𝑜𝑑𝑒𝑑 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑑𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 )

𝜎ℎ = 𝟏𝟑𝟏. 𝟗 𝑴𝑷𝒂

From the analysis the magnitude of hoop stress as described in Figure 3 is found in the range of
131.57 MPa to 132 MPa.

The table below summarizes the maximum equivalent stress allowed in the individual

Note: Fatigue assessment is done according to ASME VIII Div-2 Clause 5.5.3 Eq. 5.36. Half of
the total stress range is compared with alternating stress at 2000 cycles. Fatigue strength
utilization factor (S4/S4_allow.) is calculated for each section of the part as detailed in section
5.3.

5.11. MAWP estimation of locking band using FE Analysis

The analytical modal for MAWP analysis of the locking band is same as explained under
section 3.3. The MAWP is arrived by iterative process by varying the pressure until the band
maximum utilization factor reaches close to 1.0. The MAWP for locking band is estimated to
be 10.5 MPa

6. CONCLUSIONS

The calculations documented within this report show that the 24” Nominal Size Horizontal
Bandlock 2 Closure with Design pressure of 4.69 MPa, MAWP of 10.06 MPa & Hydrotest
pressure of 5.87 MPa satisfies all the requirements as per ASME VIII Division1 [2019] (Code
Stamped).
